Roosevelt is to make a speech in Indiana during the campaign, but the precise (late of the dental exhibition has not been fixed. Thfe speech itself will not be important. unless he repeats his famous Tory utterance in London. ,

“The Republican press." says a news item, “is making i*t hot tor Kern. Senator Shivelv and Governor Marshall." Rut this item is twisted. It is Kern. Senator Shively and Governor Marshall who are making it 'hot for the Republican press.

Having killed, off nobody knows how many elephants, hippotamuses. rhinoceroses, tigers, lions and other dangerous animals in Africa. Mr. Roosevelt is coming to Indiana 'to try his hand on thie arrti-Beveridge Republicans. Oris it the other way about ?

With those prideful "mugwumps*’ Lucius B r Swift and William Dudley Foulke running the Republican catmpaign, what use is there for the aid of Hons. Jim Watson, Jim Hemenway, W. T. Durbin, C. W. Fairbanks and other war-worn and battlescarred veterans of that sort’

Never has there been such. a catching at straws by drowning people as that exhibited by the Republican/state candidates, from Beveridge down —or up, as you please. Just he will be as officacious in the emergency as other straws —and no more so.

It should be remembered that tC:<e last year of the Roosevelt administration spent over ten hundred million dollars. while the last year of the Cleveland administration spent only four hundred and fifty millions. And Taft's administration is spending more monev than Roosevelt did. ~

The chairman of the Republican state committee is quoted in the Republican papers as saying that compaign contributions will not be accepted from "corporations." This statement is safe enough. Corporations usually make their contributions through individuals. It doesn't attract so much attention when the list becomes public. However, that staunch Republican ally, the An-ti-Saloon League, has not yet said that it will accept no contributions from corporations.

Having tarried in Indiana long enough to put forth the flamboyant statement that he will carry the state by "sso,ooo’majority," Senator Beveridge then hiked out for the "New Hampshire hills." Mr. Beveridge does not stay long at a time in Indiana. When congress is in session he has an official excuse for being in Washington. When congress is not in session he has to go to the "Maine woods" or the Atlantic coast” or the “New Hampshire hills” to recuperate from his arduous labors. He cannot recuperate in Indiana—not with Jim Watson, ex-Senator Hemenway, ex-Governor Durbin. ex-Vice President Fairbanks and Joe Kealing about. For one reason or another-—usually another —the "senior senator" does not stay in -Indiana long enough to become used to the climate. After the fourth of next March it will not matter muUH where Mr. Beveridge lives.
